This is What the New Ghostbusters Will Drive

If you weren’t already excited about seeing the Ghostbusters’ new proton packs and jumpsuits, director Paul Feig is now offering a sneak peek at the iconic Ecto-1 vehicle. Like its predecessor, it’s a vintage Cadillac. Somewhat unlike the original Ecto-1, however, this new car is undeniably a hearse.

All that said, the darker connotation of the new Ecto-1 is appropriate. It actually falls more in line with Dan Ackroyd’s original design which featured an all-black chassis with white-and-purple lights. The original Ghostbusters cinematographer eventually vetoed that colour scheme, since so much of the movie was filmed at night and it wouldn’t show up well on camera. But you don’t really need to paint a hearse black to know it’s a vehicle of death—or ghosts.
